The US accuses 7,000 Ghanaians of abusing the terms of their visas
The US has imposed visa restrictions on Ghana for refusing to accept the return of 7,000 Ghanaian nationals that it wants to deport.
The US embassy in Accra will limit the awarding of visas to certain applicants, such as the domestic staff of diplomats posted to America.
The sanctions could be expanded to include other categories if the issue was not resolved, US officials warned.
Last year, Ghana had questioned the deportees’ nationality and treatment.
But last September, the country’s ambassador to the US, Baffour Adjei-Bawuah, was quoted by local media as saying that an agreement had been reached to return the deportees.
The US accuses the 7,000 deportees of being guilty of immigration offences, including abusing the terms of their visas.
